Get ready to experience one of North America’s highest quality Japanese gardens. The Anderson Japanese Garden, founded in 1978 by the inspired John R. Anderson after his travels to Japan and Portland’s famous Japanese Garden, is a hidden gem that promises peace, beauty and inspiration. We’ll stroll along a scenic, flat path on a guided 1.5-hour tour, taking in the calming koi ponds, lush greenery and elegant bridges that transport you straight to Japan – no passport needed! After soaking in all that natural beauty, we’ll turn up the heat with a hibachi-style lunch at JMP Nippon, where the chefs put on a show while serving up sizzling plates of steak, chicken, shrimp, fried rice and more! Lunch will be self-pay. It’s the perfect mix of zen and zest — don’t miss it! Extensive walking is involved with this trip. Registration/cancellation deadline: September 2 (spaces permitting). Transportation provided via Park District van.
Registration for this program/event begins at 9:00am on 8/19 for residents and 8/22 for non-residents.
Our trips are perfect for those 21 years and older to get out and explore!
